geschke/nginx repository overview

⁠geschke/nginx

This is a minimal Nginx Docker image based on Alpine Linux.

⁠DO NOT USE THIS!

⁠This image is not actively maintained!

⁠Usage

To download the container run

docker pull geschke/nginx

To start, put the Nginx configuration in some directory and let the system run.

sudo docker run -d --name nginx --restart=always \
    -v /srv/docker/nginx/sites-enabled:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled \
    -v /srv/docker/nginx/conf.d:/etc/nginx/conf.d \
    --publish <port_on_host>:80 --link whatever:you_like \
    geschke/nginx    

There is an example of a configuration as reverse proxy in the files/sites-enabled/ directory. Please put your configuration files into a similar directory on your server.

Example of filesystem:

/srv/docker/nginx/
		  sites-enabled/
		  conf.d/
		  www/

If you start the Nginx container with the above command, put the (virtual) hosts configuration into the sites-enabled directory. This is similar to the Ubuntu approach, only without using symlinks.

You'll find an initial Nginx configuration in the Github project.

You'll find some examples in the (sorry, German only) blog posts:

And maybe I will improve the description here some day. ;-)
